On October 12th 2025 my life was changed for the better. I was rebaptized and washed in the blood!! Jesus has worked so much in my life in the past few months. If you knew me in the past few years you would know that I have struggled with filling this void with so many things. I tried filling it with drinking, smoking, partying, boys and so much more. Even though I was doing all of that stuff I still felt empty. I began to feel God calling me again, and I was hesitant to listen. I was so worried that I would lose everything I had gained in my time without Jesus; things that made my flesh happy and not my spirit. Giving things up that are of the world is something that I struggle with daily. But when I started to hand these things over to God he took what I thought was everything and showed me that He is everything. I prayed and prayed for a christian community for so long and he truly blessed me with one of the best ones. He took my fear of having no friends, due to changing my lifestyle, and blessed me with the most amazing friends who encourage me in my relationship with Him and lift me up in spirit. He took away my idea of fun and showed me ways to have fun while still honoring Him. While I was at Fall getaway, I had an amazing encounter with God, He told me to come back, that He isn’t mad at me, and that I am not too far gone and finally decided it was time to listen to that call and run back to him!! I realized that in order to fill this void I needed Jesus in my life again, and I have truly felt him working in me. All those desires of the world that I had been craving God took them from me!! I am not who I was before and my name has been made new!! I hope you know if He can do it for me, He can do it for you too!! I have been washed clean in the blood of Jesus and thank goodness I am not the person I was yesterday!! God has made me new again!! Praise God!!! All glory to Him!!!

God, thank You for this summer.

Thank You for sending us to Branson.
Thank You for the friendships formed and the fellowship shared.
Thank You for the memories we made together.
Thank You for loving us completely, even though You know us completely.
Thank You for pursuing our hearts every single day.
Thank You for every seed planted—whether seen or unseen.
Thank You for being with us in every moment, the joyful and the hard.
Thank You for being our Father, Lord, Savior, Helper, and Friend.

We love You, and we know we don’t deserve Your goodness!

Going on Summer Mission was the most life-changing experience I’ve ever had.
I learned what it truly means to abide in the Lord and saw His intentionality and love in a whole new way. I’m so thankful for every person I met and for the wisdom, encouragement, and love we were able to pour into one another.

God calls us to go. He calls us to be sent.

I want to encourage every one of you: let God use you. Let Him speak through you. The world needs His truth, and He wants to share it through you!!!
